"Most marshals are, but a few aren't. Marshal Huo is one of those few who are exceptionally gifted!" Meng Guanghui said seriously, "Marshal Huo won't be twenty-nine for a few months yet, so don't spread rumors."
Xia Chujian said bluntly, "Twenty-nine is quite old."
Meng Guanghui was about to explode: "How can 29 be considered old?! Besides, she's not even that old yet! She's still young and in her prime, don't you understand?"
Meng Guanghui is already thirty years old this year. If twenty-nine is considered old, then what is thirty? Is it time to be buried?
He feels like he's still a baby!
Xia Chujian said, "I'm only eighteen, but I already feel old. Even if Huo Shuai is twenty-eight, he's still ten years older than me. Isn't that old?"
Meng Guanghui: “…”
His eyes twitched wildly as he said, "It's fine to use yourself as the standard. You are young, but you can't say that twenty-eight or twenty-nine is old. You have to understand that the country's definition of youth is forty-nine! After forty-nine, it's considered middle-aged, understand?"
Xia Chujian frowned and said, "Ah? Then it will take me another 30 years to reach middle age? That's really too long..."
Meng Guanghui is introverted and doesn't want to talk anymore.
Xia Chujian packed up the seasonings, turned to look at Meng Guanghui, and said, "Commander, you haven't told me how Marshal Huo became a marshal at the age of 29?"
Meng Guanghui glanced at her. Although he was unhappy, he still tried to explain to her: "Huo Shuai was awarded the rank of marshal at the age of 27. However, after he was awarded the medal, he was transferred from the front line of the Interstellar Legion to the Special Security Bureau as the chief inspector."
"Awarded the rank of marshal at the age of twenty-seven? How many years had he been in the army? Did he perform any great service? Or does he come from a prominent family?"
"Do you know that Huo Shuai is a genius?" Meng Guanghui was excited at this time. "He was born into a common family. He didn't rely on his family background at all, but on himself!"
"He took the college entrance exam at the age of twelve and, with the highest score in the country, was admitted to the Imperial First Military University's Star Destroyer Command program! He studied for a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree, graduating with a doctorate five years later. At the age of seventeen, he joined the military and became a captain in command of the Imperial Fifth Star Fleet."
"Three years later, Commander Huo, at the age of twenty, transformed the Empire's weakest Fifth Interstellar Fleet into its strongest! In a decisive battle with the Southern Cross Principality, as acting commander-in-chief, he completely annihilated the enemy's three major fleets! He even killed the Southern Cross Principality's highest military commander! That year, His Majesty exceptionally promoted him from captain to colonel!"
"Did you know?! When General Huo led us to defeat the Southern Cross Principality, our Beichen Empire hadn't won a battle in over a hundred years!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
She knew this, otherwise why would there only be five planets left in the Beichen Empire...
But she didn't know that the first victory was brought by Huo Yushen.
Meng Guanghui was still excited: "Four years later, when Huo Shuai was 24 years old, the Southern Cross Principality attacked again. This time, they brought with them six newly built interstellar fleets, which were twice as large as before!"
"Furthermore, we have a traitor among us who betrayed the location of Marshal Huo's ship!"
"At that time, Marshal Huo's flagship, also the flagship of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, was besieged by over sixty interstellar fighters, cruisers, and battleships of all sizes. Can you imagine that scene?!"
"At that time, all our frigates were destroyed by the enemy, and the main ship was also badly damaged and on the verge of being penetrated! The only three people left in the entire interstellar fleet were Huo Shuai, Shan Xing, and I. We all planned to die with the enemy!"
"Guess what happened? When we were about to be completely wiped out, Coach Huo acted decisively, devised a stunning battle plan!"
"He used himself as bait, luring the opponent to the edge of a microscopic black hole, and then used a very risky and borderline technique!"
"The enemy's more than 60 interstellar battleships were unable to escape and were all sucked into the black hole!"
"Then Coach Huo resolutely fired all our ammunition at that ultra-micro black hole, collapsing it!"
"Can you imagine the spectacular sight of a black hole being extinguished?!"
"Even if it's a microscopic black hole, it's still a black hole!"
"A black hole's powerful gravitational field can swallow everything, not even light can escape!"
"And when a black hole collapses, the entire space around it becomes distorted."
"The matter surrounding the black hole will spin at high speeds and then merge into the black hole's field, forming a dark ring interface, like a bottomless vortex on the seabed that suddenly appears in the starry sky!"
"This ring interface is the boundary of the black hole's collapse, and it will attract all the matter that approaches!"
"Huo Shuai led us right past the edge of that ring interface, and we weren't sucked away by the spatial distortion caused by the black hole's collapse."
"But the fleets of the Southern Cross Principality don't have the same superb driving skills as our General Huo!"
"The collapse of the black hole triggered enormous gravitational ripples, stretching the light of the stars in the sky into strange shapes. I will never forget that extremely distorted, yet seemingly harmonious, scene!"
"In the area near the black hole's collapse, time seems to have slowed down. A strong radiation belt has formed in front of the annular interface, producing intense radiation. It's a brilliant halo of death!"
